In either case, we're looking for your help in telling the story about businesses and farms you are familiar with.

Telling Your Business Story Is Easy:

Because it's the Internet your business story can be brief, say a 250 word outline, to an extensive profile of 1,750 words or more, to anything in between for telling the world about your Main Street business.

We'll publish your story via our Family Business Blog, an amazingly simple process that essentially allows you to copy/paste your story into the blog's template - then click the button!

We will publish each business profile with a permanent link to it on our site. This linking benefits you with additional contacts for business. We ask you to link to us as well.

Every day your story will be seen by business owners, association executives, and media representatives. Some individual profiles receive over one hundred impressions a day, over five years after they were published.

By The Way: your profile/story can be one that was already published in a local business newspaper, an industry trade association journal, or one being created for publication here that may subsequently submitted to other media and/or added to the business owner's web site.

• After you've read the criteria below, so your story will discuss what makes your company special that other business owners want to hear about, go to www.FamilyBusinessStrategies.com and post your story.
